A great photo-essay on the Iraqi elections here. Great choice of music too: Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Rights of Man.

The Slippery Slope

So, you want all the social benefits of the utopian, socialistic society, eh? You want our culture to be more "liberated" in it's thinking, eh? You want us to be more "progressive" in our views of sex, eh?

Look at what it got the Germans:

A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services''
at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under
laws introduced this year.

You see, now that prostitution is legal and a recognized "career", you can't turn down the "opportunity" to take a job as such if one is offered by the all-powerful government.

Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit.

Be careful what you ask for......you may just get it.
